The irony that the Prem may actually save us from these sharks with due process leaves me ambivalent at best. We really are a laughing stock. Anything posted anywhere about us = “I hope they get relegated” - “welcome to the championship” etc etc. Breaks my cold dead blue heart
 
Indeed. And there will be nothing we can do about it as fans because 777 don’t care about fans. We exist purely for them to make money off.

Josh Wander made that perfectly clear with his comments about commercialising footie clubs more and selling us all insurance.

The only impact we could have on owners like that is a full and prolonged boycott of the matches but we’ll never manage to get that organised before the club collapses under their control.

Horrible situation.
GOOD LUCKINGS GETTING INSURANCINGS FOR DCL AND GBAMIN
 

Having been involved in many an acquisition, it’s astounding that anything can happen unless the outcome of our P&S charge is already known.

We are all fairly confident there will be no points deduction. But would you be sure to the value of a hundred million or whatever our value would reduce by if we were guaranteed relegation, as Leeds value did? It would be like buying Boots or Next knowing there is a small possibility in the next month of the government closing half of your stores, massively devaluing the company you just bought giving you nothing in return and obviously reducing your ability to make profits in the upcoming years, allowing er Matalan (🤷‍♂️) and Superdrug to romp into your market..

Smells funny. Almost as if those involved in deciding our punishment (not our guilt) are quite keen to change ownership 🤔

The reason is that this deal wouldn't be sorted before the outcome of that case. It's only 6 weeks away and anything we do usually takes at least 6 months to drag over the line.

If we were to be hit with a crippling fine or significant enough points deduction they could always pull out.

The issue with the PL due process is that it takes months and while it’s ongoing we’ll still be haemorrhaging cash and if at the end of it they decide 777 aren’t fit and proper we’ll be back to square one and hurtling towards insolvency with Moshiri still unable to put in cash to support us. So it’s another careful what you wish for.

Of course the way to avoid this is to start the process with a more credible investor but we can only pray one comes into the running quickly.

Yes I cant see a world where investment is made without knowing the outcome of that, and a positive outcome for the club.

Given Wander is elected onto a governing body, you wonder if he has been tipped off.
 
I know nowt about 777 beyond what I read on here and on Everton Twitter.

I don’t think all these fellows are lying or making things up.

Fans of the other clubs they own cannot all be wrong.

This looks like the final nail in the coffin and lower league football has become much more possible.

Winds me up. Every single media post/story I see is largely negative and attracts the anti-everton brigade. All the obsessed rival fans who have got a hard-on for us for some strange reason... 'best ground in the championship'.... like they're the frst to tell the 'joke'. 🙄
